CROSS REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND
This application is related to my earlier filed Canadian patent Application Serial No. 420,889
filed February 4, 1983.
There is disclosed in my co-pending Canadian patent application, filed September 16, 1981,
Serial No. 420,908 for a Hydrogen Generator, a generating system for converting natural
water into hydrogen and oxygen gases.
4. In that system, the hydrogen atoms are disassociated from the water molecules by the application
of a non-regulated, non-filtered, low power, direct current/voltage electrical potential applied to two
non-oxidizing similar metal plates having natural non-electrolytic water passing therebetween. The
action is enhanced by pulsing the non-regulated and non-filtered direct current/voltage. Particularly
significant with the hydrogen generator disclosed in such application Serial No. 420,908, is that the
hydrogen/oxygen generated is in excess of that necessary for practical utilization. Further, and
equally significant, is that the generation of the hydrogen/oxygen is controlled by any one or
more of several factors, i.e. varying voltage, varying pulse rate, varying spacing between plates,
switching the number of plates, and plate configuration.
Therefore, the hydrogen/oxygen generation of my co-pending patent application, supra and utilized
in the preferred embodiment herein, is a demand system; that is, generation of the
hydrogen/oxygen is initiated upon demand. Then, the generation of the hydrogen/oxygen is
controlled in quantity by the need; such as, accelerator for an automotive device.
Another earlier system utilizes a rotational mechanical gas displacement system to transfer, meter,
mix, and pressurize the various gases. In the gas transformation process, ambient air is passed
through an open flame gas-burner system to eliminate gases and other substances present.
Thereafter, the non-combustible gas-mixture is cooled, filtered for impurity removal, and
mechanically mixed with a pre-determined amount of hydrogen gas. The gas formation stage also
meters the volume and determines the proper gas-mixing ratio for establishing the desired burn-
rate of hydrogen gas. The rotational mechanical gas displacement system determines the volume-
amount of gas to be produced. This is a multi-stage system having utility in special applications.
The hydrogen generator system of the above-mentioned co-pending patent application discloses a
very simple and unique hydrogen generator.
The system of the present invention, in its most preferred embodiment, is for a combustion system
having utility in a mechanical drive system, and particularly, in one instance, to drive a piston in an
automotive device. The system utilizes the generator of my above-mentioned co-pending
Application 420,908 for developing hydrogen gas, and other non-combustible gases such as
oxygen and nitrogen. The hydrogen gas with the attendant non-combustible gases, in a controlled
ratio, are fed via a line controlled air intake system. The combined hydrogen, non-combustible
gases and the air, after intermixing, are fed to a combustion chamber wherein the mixture is
ignited. The exhaust gases of the combustion chamber are returned in a closed loop arrangement
to the mixing chamber.
More specifically the generated hydrogen gas is fed to a gas mixing chamber wherein the hydrogen
gas is intermixed with non-combustible gases. The mixture is fed to a carburetor (air intake
mixture) system.
The gas mixture is fed through nozzle means into a chamber in a jet spray. Valve or gate means
controls the amount of air intake to the jet spray. The gases combine with the air to form a gas
SUMMARY OF INVENTION:
5. mixture of hydrogen, non-combustible gas, and oxygen. The mixture, now combustible but not as
highly combustible as hydrogen by itself, is entered into a combustion chamber. The chamber may
be conventional in design comprising a cylinder capable of withstanding high pressure and having
a piston reciprocal therein. At the uppermost end of the combustion chamber there is a spark plug
igniter.
The exhaust gases, the residue of the combustion, now comprise a non-combustible mixture. These
exhaust gases are fed to the gas mixing chamber as the non-combustible gases in a closed loop
arrangement.
To effect a practical utilization, the generation of the hydrogen/oxygen gases are controlled in
start-up and in quantity. The control of the generation of gases is effected by one or more variable
parameters; such as varying the voltage applied to the plates, varying the pulse rate of the voltage
on the plates, varying the spacing between the plates, switching the number of plates, and plate
configuration. The hydrogen/oxygen generation is on demand; that is, the hydrogen/oxygen
generation on start- up is only on demand and thereafter generation of the gases is controlled in
quantity by the need, much in the same manner as an accelerator.
A principal object of the present invention is to provide a combustion system of gases combined
from a source of combustible and non-combustible gases.
A further object of the invention is to provide a hydrogen generator that is controllable in the
generation of hydrogen/oxygen gases and therefore capable ef controlling the rate of firing of a
burner system.
A further object of the invention is to provide a hydrogen generator and combustion system that
may be incorporated in a mechanical drive system.
In keeping with the foregoing, there is provided in accordance with the present invention a burner
system comprising: a hydrogen/oxygen generator; a housing having a water reservoir for retaining
water therein having no electrolyte added thereto; a pair of similar electrical voltage conductive
non-oxidizing, non-corrosive, non-reactive plates positioned in said water reservoir in spaced apart
relation with respect to one another; a direct current voltage source having positive and negative
output terminal connected to respective ones of said pair of plates to apply a low current electrical
voltage for disassociating the hydrogen gas atoms and oxygen gas atoms from the water
molecules; and a gas mixing chamber; conduit means including first control valve connecting the
hydrogen/oxygen combustible gases from said hydrogen/oxygen generator to said mixing
chamber; a source of non-combustible gas; conduit means including a second control vaive
connecting the non-combustible gas from said non-combustible source to said mixing chamber;
said combustible gas and non-combustible respective first and second gas control valves
regulating the gas mixture ratio of combustible/non-combustible gases from said mixing means;
air-intake means connected to the output of said mixing chamber for combining air with said mixed
gases; a gas burner having said controlled amount of mixed gases from said mixing chamber and
air mixed therewith fed thereto; means to ignite said gas/air mixture in said gas burner; and
demand control means for varying the release of said hydrogen/oxygen gas atoms to thereby
accelerate and decelerate the rate of ignition of said gas/air mixture.

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
11. Screenshot from 2022-06-25 13-33-22.png
Image not found or type unknown
With particular reference to Figure 1, the hydrogen source 10 is the hydrogen generator disclosed
and described in my co-pending application, supra. The container 102 is an enclosure for a natural
water bath 2. Immersed in the water 2 is an array of plates 3 of similar non-oxidizing material.
Applied to plates 3 is a source of pulsed direct current potential via electrical inlet 27.

12. potential, on the plates causes the hydrogen and oxygen atoms to become disassociated from the
water molecule. Varying either the potential of the direct current source or the pulse rate of the
pulsing of the Girect current potential will vary proportionately the generation of the
hydrogen/oxygen. Other factors are disclosed for varying the output of the generator. More
specifically with reference to Figure 5, to be taken in conjunction with the generator 10, of Figure l,
there is illustrated schematically in cross-section the hydrogen/oxygen generator in its most
simplified embodiment. The container 102 holds supply of water 2 which is natural water and can
be either pure distilled water, or salt, or tap, well, rain, river, or other water containing
contaminants. However, specifically, no electrolyte or chemicals are added to the water. The water
2, comprising molecules 2a xxx 2n of hydrogen 3a xxx 3n, oxygen 4a Xxx 4n, and foreign
substances 5a xxx 5n, is passed between a pair of plates 9a and 9b, consisting of similar non-
oxidizing metal, submerged therein.
To replenish the expended water the generator is connected via line 1 to a suitable water source.
Attached to terminal 32 on plates 9a is a wire having its other end connected to the negative
terminal, and to terminal 31 on the plate 9b is connected another wire having its other end
connected to the positive terminal of the direct current electrical source 30A.
The direct current voltage applied to the water passing between plates 9a and 9b, is sufficient to
disassociate the hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms (appearing as bubbles) from the water
molecules. The foreign substance or contaminants are broken away from the water molecule and
spillover the outside areas of the plates 9a and 9b to a collector at the bottom cf the container 102.
The hydrogen gas and oxygen gas rises above the liquid.

Image not found or type unknown
As illustrated in Figure 9, increasing the voltage
applied to the plates 9a and 9b enhances the action upon the water molecule, which in turn
increases the hydrogen/oxygen gas generation. The gas generated is substantially a linear
function to the magnitude of the voltage applied to the plates. Therefore, by increasing or
decreasing the direct current voltage potential applied to the plates the hydrogen/oxygen rate of
generation is directly related. Also, and most significantly, the voltage is increased and decreased
but the current is maintained constant at a very low level. That is, the direct current voltage
13. potential is current limited.
As shown in Figure 10, it has also been found that pulsing the voltage applied to the plates 9a and
9b enhances the action upon the water molecule, which in turn increases the hydrogen/oxygen gas
generation. The gas generated is a linear function to the pulse repetition rate of the voltage
applied to the plates 9a and 9b. A safety release valve 28 is used to avoid excessive gas buildup
and the switch 29 is a gas pressure switch to maintain a predetermined gas pressure level. The
generated hydrogen gas 4 is fed via pipe 5 to a gas mixing chamber 40, wherein the hydrogen gas
is inter-mixed with non-combustible gases such as, for example, exhaust gases 22 as more fully
discussed hereinafter.

Image not found or type unknown
The mixture of combustible gas and non-combustible
gases are fed via pipe line 9 to a carburetor (air-mixture) system 20. The gas mixture 8 is fed
through nozzle 11 to chamber 47 in a jet spray 46. Valve or gate 45 controls the amount of air-
intake which combines with the gas mixture of jet spray 46. The mixture of air, hydrogen and non-
combustible gases enters combustion chamber 30, via pipe line 16. The chamber 30 may be
conventional in design and comprises a cylinder 17 capable of withstanding high pressure. At the
uppermost end of the combustion chamber 30 is a spark plug igniter 18. In a controlled manner,
relative to the piston 23 stroke, the spark ignition 19 via spark plug 18, causes the mixed gases to
combust. The compression 21 caused by the combustion forces the piston 23 to push downwardly
in the cylinder 17.
The exhaust gases 22, the residue of the combustion 21, now comprises a non-combustible
mixture. These exhaust gases 22 are fed via pipe line 24 to the gas mixing chamber 40 as the non-
combustible gases as aforesaid.
The pipe line 24 passes through cooling chamber 50 for cooling of the gases therein. The cooling
chamber 50 also functions as a spark arrestor to eliminate the possibility of gas ignition inside the
mixing chamber 40. The excess non-combustible gases are exhausted via outlet 4g, to be expelled
into the atmosphere.
14. Image not found or type unknown
The apparatus of Figure 2 comprises much
the same system as Figure 1. In this embodiment the components are depicted more explicitly in
their structural relationship in an alternate arrangement. Basically, the system is operable as that
in Figure 1, i-e. a mixture of combustible (hydrogen) gas and non-combustible gases (exhaust).
The hydrogen generator 10, as aforesaid, may be any form of a generator, however, in the
preferred embodiment the hydrogen generator is that of my co-pending application, supra. The
water system in a closed loop operation comprises a reservoir or tank 39 with an outlet having pipe
line 33 connected thereto, water control valve 54 being operable to adjust the water flow. The
water is pumped by pump 34 in line 33 to line 35, and then to the generator 10.
The overflow water expended and non-expended is expelled from generator 10 into line 36, filtered
in filter 41 of contaminants, and returned to tank 39 via pipe line 37. The loop is completed.
The gases generated from the water in generator 10 also includes the oxygen component of the
water in addition to nitrogen.
The outlet 5 on the generator 10 receives the combustible and non-combustible (oxygen and
nitrogen) gases generated thereby and feeds the same to the mixing chamber 40. The flow of the
hydrogen gas is, of course; critical; therefore, there is incorporated in line 5 a gas flow valve 53
(Fig. 2) to adjust the hydrogen flow.
The exhaust gases 22 are fed via inlet pipe 31 to the cooling and spark arrestor chamber 50 and by
pipe 24 into the mixing chamber 40. These gases from cooling and spark arrestor chamber 50 to
mixing chamber 40 are controlled by a flow control valve 51 in pipe line 24.
The output of gases from mixing chamber 40 as described relative to Figure 1 and 2 is fed via line
9 to an air/gas mixture system 42. In this instance, the intake air 14 may be in a carburetor
arrangement with an intake adjustment 55 that adjusts a plate on an air intake opening of the
air/gas mixture system 42. The gas mixture is fed into the carburetor by nozzle 11 and mixed with
15. the air 14.

With particular reference to Figure 3 there is
illustrated an alternative combustion chamber 60 that may be utilized in lieu of the chamber 30 of
Figure l.
In this embodiment the combustible and non-combustible gas mixture that is generated and mixed
in the arrangement of Figures 1 and 2, enters inlet 8 and is directed by pipe line 9 and nozzle 11 to
the cone 65. The gas mixture combines with air 14 as it enters cone areas 65. The combined gas
mixture is directed by the cone 65 to the dispersing chamber 66. There the gas mixture is further
mixed with air 14 to form combustible gas- The gas/air mixture is dispersed via ports 67a XXX 67n
from the dispersing chamber 66 into the firing area of the combustion chamber 60. The gas
mixture entering inlet 8 is also fed by pipe line 9 te a separation chamber 71. This chamber
sections off a controlled amount of the intake gas mixture to the pilot light line 58. The pilot light
firing 57 is sequenced by the drive, much in the same manner as the cylinder of an automobile
engine. The mixed .gas designated 56a, 56n, ejected from ports 67a XxX 67n of the dispersing
chamber 66 is ignited by the pilot light combustion 57 in the firing area of the combustion chamber
and thereby causing combustion 59 of the mainstream gases. As the non-combustible gases
(exhaust gases 22 of Figure 1) rise upwardly in the cylinder 61, of the combustion chamber 60 the
cone 63 captures a portion of such non-combustible gases. The captured exhaust gas is returned
via pipe line 68 and outlet 74 to the combustion process as set in Figure Ll or expelled for other
purposes.
The major portion of the non-combustible gases by-pass the cone 63 and rise further to the outlet
exhaust 69 and are expelled at opening 73.

In the constructed arrangement of Figure 4, there is illustrated a gas control system that
may be retrofitted to an existing automobile internal combustion engine without changing or
modifying its design parameters or characteristics.
16. As low-voltage direct current is applied to safety valve 28, solenoid 86 is activated. This results in
applying a control voltage to the hydrogen generator plates 3 via terminal 27 through pressure
switch 29. Hydrogen gas produced in hydrogen generator 10 passes through flow adjustment valve
53 and then outlet pipe 5 for utilization.
Gas regulator valve 75 is utilized to reduce the pressure level inside hydrogen generator 10. The
pressure differential hydrogen gas output to gas mixing chamber 40 is, for example, 30 lbs. to 15
lbs. Once hydrogen generator 10 reaches an optimum gas pressure level, pressure switch 29 shuts
off electrical power to the hydrogen excitors. If the chamber pressure exceeds a predetermined
level, the safety release valve 28 is activated disconnecting the electrical current and thereby
shutting down the entire system for safety inspection.
Similar to an automobile engine or other drive force requiring an electrical energizing source, the
present invention may include the regenerative energy feedback arrangement shown in Figure 6.
The process utilizes a mechanical drive system as described relative to Figures 1 and 2; and which
mechanical drive may be that of a piston such as utilized in a gasoline engine. In operation, the
process mixture is ignited much in the same manner as in Figure 1. The drive mechanism in turn
activates electrical voltage of alternator 95 whose output is fed back to the hydrogen generator
and utilized ag the firing voltage on the spark plug 18; again, ina closed loop arrangement.
The ratio of hydrogen/oxygen gases is varied to obtain optimum burning velocity and temperature
for the particular combustion engine. Once this is attained, the ratio, under normal conditions, will
not be altered. Other engines having different fuel burn temperature and velocity will be adjusted
in ratio of hydrogen/oxygen to non-combustible gases in the same manner as exemplified above.

With reference to Figure 8 there is illustrated the
burning velocity of various standard fuels. It can be seen the common type of fuel for a land vehicle
burns at a velocity substantially less than with hydrogen gas.
17. In an application of the preferred embodiment to the present invention i.e., an automobile, the
proper burning velocity and temperature will be attained as aforesaid, to match that of the gasoline
burning engine, the burning engine or its particular fuel. This ratio once attained will not be altered.
In operation of the engine, when the engine is not running, there is no tank of hydrogen fuel in the
automobile, such as suggested by the prior art. Applicant's automobile simply has a tank of water.
Upon start-up, hydrogen/oxygen from the tank of water is immediately generated, and ignition
takes place. Again, only enough hydrogen/oxygen is generated to effect combustion.
Screenshot from 2022-06-25 13-34-49.png
Image not found or type unknown
Further, in operation of the automobile utilizing the
present invention, when it is desired to accelerate the firing rate of the engine, such as may occur
in normal driving, the rate of generation of the hydrogen/oxygen is accelerated by the demand
controls. The greater demand for acceleration, the greater the generation of the gases. ~ Again, in
the practical working embodiment of the automobile utilizing the hydrogen/oxygen engine of the
present invention, the "throttle" for accelerating the speed of the engine will be an electronic
control. This may be such as for varying the pulse rate or the magnitude of the voltage of the direct
current voltage potential applied to the plates of the generator. tn lieu of increasing the electrical
power or varying the pulse rate to enhance the action on the water molecules, other conditions
have been considered. With particular reference to Figure 7 there is illustrated an electronic switch
for switching on and off the rippled d.c. output of supply 30a. The plates 32a xxx 32n are
connected to common ground 34. The positive terminals 33a xxx 33n are connected respectively
to contacts 3la xxx 3ln of switch 35a rotatively making and breaking contact with the direct/current
voltage source 30a.
It can be appreciated the greater the number of cells the more hydrogen/oxygen generated. Ina
practical embodiment, the combustion engine is started on a minimum number of cells. Upon
acceleration, the greater the need for more hydrogen/oxygen gas, hence the increase in the
number of cells. In this way, the switch 35a is an accelerometer. Again, in that the increase in
generation of hydrogen/oxygen by the actuation of switch 35a, the increase is a step function. It is
deemed desirable therefore, that the configuration of switch control of cells be in conjunction with
the aforesaid linear type of acceleration. Other structure factors altering, affecting, and particularly
enhancing the hydrogen gas generating comprises altering plate spacing, and the plate
configuration. Each of these factors have been taken into consideration in the development of a
fuel cell to provide optimum results for a preferred embodiment. As stated above, another factor
18. affecting the gas generation ouput is the plate separation. With particular reference to Figure 12
there is illustrated graphically plate spacing versus gas generation. As can be seen, the greater the
spacing the less gas generation. The efficiency versus spacing of the plates is a linear decrease
with spacing. With particular reference to Figure 11, there is illustrated graphically the efficiency of
the tubular plate array, the cluster tubular array, and the flat plate array- Specifically there is
shown the gas generation versus the plate configuration.
Although the invention in its preferred embodiment is best exemplified in an internal combustion
engine, it can be envisioned that the concepts of the system and apparatus may be utilized in
other types of controlled burners.
